Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

In the midst of a federal government shutdown, the U.S. government’s gross national debt surpassed $38 trillion Wednesday.
It’s also the fastest accumulation of a trillion dollars in debt outside of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In college I took out an emergency student loan to see Barbra’s 1995 farewell concert at the Pond in Anaheim (I paid it back! And Barbra had a few more farewell shows after that.) Needless to say, becoming the Barbra Streisand Professor in Contemporary Gender Studies is kind of a dream come true.

Got yelled at by my university for posting on LinkedIn that I'm open to jobs abroad because things are looking bleak in the US. Somehow this was interpreted as a bad look for the university? I'm just saying what everyone recognizes as reality.
